    Do you think that children today are rude? I happen to think that they are and need to be taught some respect. I am a preschool teacher and the other day one of my 4 year olds said whatever to me. Not too happy about that. Show me some respect!

    It's not all or nothing. My wife's sister has to have the rudest kids I have ever met. They have been that way since they were able to demonstrate rudeness as a human characteristic. On the other hand, my wife and I have been complimented about the politeness of our three boys by people who have known them a long time and complete strangers alike. For example, if I were to take my kids out to a restaurant, they would all thank both myself and their mother after we were finished. They would also thank the waiter/waitress every time something was brought to them. Children aren't universally rude or disrespectful, they have to learn it from their parents....or not.

    The number of rude children is directly proportional to the number of rude adults. ;)

    Well put, both of you. I don't blame the kids, I blame the parents....and it seems to be getting worse.

    Well, I commend you for raising polite children. I do have some that are polite, but many of them in my room are just rude and impolite. I do not think that I was like that when I was a child. And yes they do learn it from their parents!

    I agree with you there. The reason children are like this is because of the parents. And yes it is only getting worse. I would have never talked to an adult the way some of these children talk to them. I would have gotten a whippen!
